TORONTO RAPTORS --- This is my strongest NBA play of the entire season as I’ve been waiting for this game since I watched the Raptors score a season-low 70 points and play their absolute worst basketball game of the season in a 78-70 loss to lowly Memphis. Tonight, they absolutely come out firing after a lengthy rest (3-1 ATS with this much rest) and completely dominate a Minnesota team that just received the worst possible news it could receive… C Al Jefferson is out for the season with a torn ACL. Just so you know, I liked the Raptors in this game before I heard the news of Jefferson, so knowing he’s not going to be a factor only strengthens my case for a big time Toronto win tonight.
Looking back at that absolute disaster of a game the Raptors had in Memphis, it’s a wonder those guys even wanted to show their faces. Listen to these individual numbers… Bargnani (1-11 shooting), Jermaine O’Neal (2-9 shooting), Jose Calderon (5-15 shooting), Anthony Parker (2-10 shooting), Jason Kapono (4-15 shooting). You get the picture. As a team, the Raptors hit just 23 of 78 total shots for a final shooting percentage of 29.5%. As pitiful as that was, I can absolutely guarantee you that will not happen again tonight because this is actually a fairly decent shooting basketball team (46% for the season)… even on the road.
Toronto could also get another favorable shot in the arm tonight as Chris Bosh could return from a knee injury… and that absolutely spells doom for a Minnesota team that now has to find someone to fill the void left vacant by Jefferson’s knee injury. The T’Wolves simply don’t have the “beef” inside to match up with Jermaine O’Neal and Chris Bosh, and even if Bosh doesn’t play the Raptors have plenty of talent in the middle. The best Minny can hope to do is have rookie Kevin Love and/or Brian Cardinal try to put a body on those guys and at least slow them down. Guess what? It’s not going to happen… not tonight. The Raptors are absolutely ticked off right now and will bring their A-game to Minneapolis to show the world that their last game was an absolute fluke.
Looking back at recent history between these two franchises, we see that Toronto has absolutely DOMINATED the T’Wolves. They’ve won the last eight H2H meetings SU and covered all eight as well, dating all the way back to December, 2004. Right now the T’Wolves are in complete disarray without their leader in the middle and you can bet they come out flat as they try to find a goto guy in Jefferson’s absence. This was a bad team WITH Jefferson in the lineup… can you imagine how poorly they will play without him? No doubt the Raptors not only get the SU win tonight, they get a double digit win by playing solid defense and hitting a much higher percentage of their shots than they shot in Memphis. Raptors in a rout.
MARQUETTE --- Absolutely love the fact we’re getting some line value here tonight because of a few things. First, the Wildcats have reeled off six consecutive SU wins and seven straight point-spread covers, beating Syracuse, Providence and Pitt along the way, not to mention a complete dismantling of Cincy last week. Marquette, meanwhile, is fresh off a 57-56 loss Friday night at South Florida… a team that just gives the Eagles matchup fits. Combine those two factors and we have a five-point line in favor of the home team… and that’s simply too many for my taste.
This game pits four potential Big East Players of the Year (Cunningham, Reynolds, McNeal and James), so it immediately tells me that the team who features the better “role players” tonight will get the SU win and likely the cover. In my opinion, the Eagles have the better role players as I believe Lazar Hayward is becoming an absolute beast in the paint while Wesley Matthews is really starting to complement Jerel McNeal on the perimeter. And as good as Villanova’s stars have played recently, I just don’t believe they will get enough production from Clark and Anderson and Redding.
In the last meeting (a 79-72 Marquette win), the Golden Eagles outrebounded and out-shot ‘Nova from the field despite losing the turnover battle. Guys, the law of averages is going to catch up with this Villanova squad eventually as they’ve been hitting nearly 50% of their shots over their last six games, scoring over 93 points in their last two contests. Marquette has better shooters on the perimeter and has plenty of size inside to keep Dante Cunningham in check. They won’t stop him, but they’ll slow him and eventually get him into foul trouble as they did the last meeting.
Marquette is on current ATS runs of 8-3 in their last 11 overall, 15-6 in their last 22 vs. the Big East and 12-5 in last 17 road games. Too many points given here tonight and we’ll be glad to take them with the road team as Marquette wins SU, 80-76.
SETON HALL --- Okay, I admit, I was completely fooled by Vegas when they set those ridiculous lines with Wofford and Rider Monday. I thought “surely something has to be up” because those lines should have been 7 to 9 points, yet the clearly superior teams were favored by just a point or two. Not tonight. Seton Hall is so much better than DePaul in so many ways this game shouldn’t even be close, seriously. DePaul has lost all 11 games in conference play and in order for them to cover this line tonight they have to get their first conference win. I’m sorry, but I just don’t see how in the world that can happen… even at home.
The Demons have covered a miserable 3 games in 17 attempts so far this season while the Hall is riding a four-game winning streak and now finds themselves at 13-9 on the season, including 4-6 in conference play after losing the first six. This team has gelled at the right time and they’re playing extraordinary defense on the perimeter as well as in the paint. The Pirates have covered six of their last eight games while DePaul has dropped 19 of their last 26 both overall and at home. This game will be over at the 10-minute mark of the second half. Lay the few points with the Hall and watch them roll.<!-- / message -->

Larry Ness' 7* Conference Showdown-CBB
One only need to check the latest AP poll (released Monday) to realize that its a "down year" for the SEC in 2008-09. Not a single SEC team is represented. Both Kentucky and Florida have been in the top-25 this year but no longer. I'm not 'sold' on either team being much of an NCAA 'threat' this year but I'm siding with Kentucky in this game, as I believe this is a "must win" for the Wildcats. Kentucky reached the top-25 by winning 11 of 12 games (lone loss was on a buzzer-beating three-pointer by Louisville) but promptly dropped out of the rankings with three straight losses. The first came 85-80 at Ole Miss and then came a 78-77 home loss to South Carolina. The team's third straight loss was downright 'ugly,' as the 'Cats never led (trailed by as many as 16) in a 66-57 home loss to Miss St on Feb 3. The good news for Billy Gillispie's team is that Kentucky hasn't played since and has had an entire week to prepare for Florida and to "fix what is wrong!" Meeks (25.1) and the 6-9 Patterson (18.3-9.2) carry the scoring load but the 'Cats have some solid frontcourt depth, which is important against Florida. The 6-9 Stevenson (7.9-6.7) is having a decent season and is joined by the 6-7 Harris (5.3-3.0), the 6-10 Harrellson (4.7-3.2) and the 6-7 Miller (4.2-3.4). Liggins (6.0-2.9-3.3) and Porter (3.5) join Meeks in the backcourt. Florida has a pretty nice roster but I feel the whole is NOT greater than the sum of its parts. The 6-6 Calathes (18.1-5.3-6.4) is a wonderful player and the guard combo of 5-8 freshman Walker (9.3) and senior Hodge (7.7), "ain't bad." The Gators are 'loaded' up front with the 6-8 Tyus (12.4-6.2), the 6-9 Parsons (10.4-5.9) and the 6-8 Warner (9.2-4.4) plus 6-10 freshman Kadji (5.0-2.6) and 6-5 freshman Shipman (4.0-2.3). Florida leads a tight SEC East division with a 6-2 mark, with South Carolina at 6-3, then Kentucky and Tennessee at 5-3. However, the Gators haven't been away from home much since Christmas (just four games), going 2-2. In their last road outing, they got hammered at Tennessee, losing 79-63. They could suffer a similar fate here. Meeks has to be considered the frontrunner for SEC player-of-the-year and is due for a big-time scoring effort. As Rod Stewart sang, "Tonight's the night."

Clemson has a recent history of falling apart after fast starts. The team opened 16-0 TY and while the team's fall has not been as dramatic as in years past, the Tigers are just 3-3 since. A 'danger sign' may be Saturday's 65-661 loss to Florida State. It came three days after the Tigers had routed then-No. 4 Duke 74-47 at home, as the Tigers blew a 19-point second-half lead (ouch!). The 6-5 Rivers (14.2-6.2) is joined on the perimeter by guards Oglesby (13.0) and Stitt (8.0), while the 6-7 Booker (14.9-5.0) and the 6-9 Sykes (8,2-5.0) start in the frontcourt,. Depth is good with guards Young and Smith (combined 7.5 PPG) and forwards Potter and Grant (10.4 PPG and 5.8 RPG, combined). As for BC, the Eagles moved to 13-2 on the season with their 85-78 upset on then-No. 1 North Carolina at Chapel Hill on Jan 4. However, a four-game slide followed. BC has recovered though, as the Eagles had won five straight before losing 93-76 on Sunday at No. 7 Wake Forest. BC was outscored 47-29 in the second half after leading by one at the half but let's give them some slack, as the talented Demon Deacons were combining off an embarrassing 27-point loss at Miami-Fla. Rice (18.0-3.9-5.5) is arguably the best player in this game and he teams with two big guards, the 6-4 Sanders (12.0-4.2) and the 6-5 Raji (10.8-6.3) on BC's perimeter. That trio is more than a match for Clemson's trio. Inside, the 6-7 Trapani (13.9-6.8) and the 6-10 Southern (5.8-5.2) should hold their own with Booker and Sykes, although it's fair to say that Clemson has more depth. That said, I really like Al Skinner over Oliver Purnell on the sidelines and I'm still waiting for Clemson's typical late-season 'crash.' It just may have begun last Saturday. The Tigers dominated the Eagles in two games last year, as Clemson won 78-56 at home last February and beat Boston College 82-48 in the ACC tourney. However, LY's BC team was a 14-17 'mess' while TY's team is 18-7 (12-3 at home) and headed back to the "Big Dance." 'They' may call this an upset but I believe the Eagles are the better team in this situation.

Larry Ness' Weekly Wipeout Winner: 7-1 run
Former TCU head coach Neil Dougherty spent six seasons in Fort Worth compiling a 75-108 record with just one winning season. Jim Christian, who went 138-58 in six years at Kent State, brought hope to TCU. The Horned Frogs opened 13-6 but will enter this game on a four-game losing streak, falling to 13-10 with five straight ATS losses. TCU's frontcourt is not bad, with the 6-7 Langford (14.1-4.9), the 6-9 Buljan (11.7-7.2) and the 6-6 Ruzgas (10.6). The backcourt features Moss (9.7), Ebie (5.9-3.9 APG) and Mitchem (5.5). TCU beat 80-73 UNLV in Fort Worth back on Jan 10, shooting 56.6 percent from the floor. The Horned Frogs cannot be expected to shoot that well again, as they are shooting 44.3 percent on the season as a team, while averaging a modest 65.0 PPG. UNLV won 30 and 27 games the last two years and enters this game 17-6, despite consecutive OT losses. The first came at home vs San Diego St and the second at New Mexico, 73-69. UNLV could really use a win here and I expect the Rebels will get just that. The 6-7 Darger (9.6-4.6) and the 6-8 Santee (6.5-3.0) don't quite match up with TCU's frontline but UNLV's perimeter game is vastly superior. Adams (14.0-4.3-3.1), Willis (11.1-3.7-3.3) and Bellfield (6.5-3.4 APG) form an excellent guard trio plus 6-6 swingman Rougeau (10.6-7.3) ranks right behind Adams as the team's MVP. UNLV finds itself in fifth-place among the 10 MWC teams and it's about time to "make a move." The good news is that the Rebels will once again host the MWC tourney but Kruger knows he needs to get his team back on track after two straight OT setbacks. Lay the points.

The Warriors are happy to have Monta Ellis back and while he's only averaging 12.0 PPG through his first nine game, this guy averaged 20.2 PPG last season and it's just a matter of time. Golden St is just 4-5 in the nine games since his return but the Warriors are 6-2-1 ATS, which means he's making a difference where it 'counts!' However, Biedrins (13.0-11.8), who can be counted on for nightly double-doubles, is out with an ankle problem. Even with that, this Warrior team looks pretty good right now. Jackson (20.1-4.9-6.2) is having a terrific season, Crawford (19.0 PPG in his 35 games with GS) is settling in and Maggette (19.7-5.9) is healthy (for now). Azubuike (13.5-4.7) is nearly doubling his point production from his first two seasons (8.1), while guards CJ Watson (9.3) and rookie Morrow (8.4) have both been nice compliments plus center Turiaf (5.0-3.8) has brought some defensive intensity to a team which owns little of that. The Warriors average 106.8 PPG (2nd to only the Lakers) but allow a league-high 111.0 PPG, meaning this game with the Knicks, who average 104.3 PPG and allow 106.6, won't exactly be a defensive struggle. There wasn't much defense played when these teams met Nov 29 in MSG, as the Knicks won 138-125, in what remains the highest-scoring non-overtime game in the NBA this year. Former Warrior Al Harrington (21.2-6.3) had 36 points and 12 rebounds and David Lee (16.2-11.8) had 37 points and 21 rebounds in that contest. PG Chris Duhon (12.5-8.0 APG) set a New York franchise record with 22 assists in that game and along with Nate Robinson (15.0-3.5 APG), who's having a career-season, makes the Knicks 'go.' However. the Warriors didn't have Jackson in that earlier meeting and of course Ellis was still serving his suspension. This time around, both are set to go and as mentioned at the top, I like the way the Warriors have played lately. The Warriors have faced winning teams in each of their last seven games. They own wins over the Hornets, Suns and Jazz plus lost in OT to the Spurs during that span. The Knicks opened their three-game West Coast trip on Sunday in Portland, blowing a 13-point fourth-quarter lead and losing 109-108 on Brandon Roy's buzzer-beater. It won't get an easier tonight in Oakland, where they've lost their last six visits.

SETON HALL -1 vs Depaul.......9:00 EDT
Get on this at HALL-1 if you can.
DePaul is bad....real bad.
A bunch of young kids....mostly Fresh-Soph.....
....even if they should have a 2nd half lead,...they will find a way to blow it.
DEPAUL has lost 11 straight,
S HALL is on a 4 game win streak and has hope for postseason play.
This betting situation reminds me a little of last nights Clipper-CHARL game.
The BM made a mistake when he put the opener out @ CHAR -2.5.
It shoulda have opened @ CHAR-5.
After the BM's realized the mistake,they tried to fool the public into thinking that the Clippers were the "smart play" by moving the line in the other direction.....to CHAR -1.
I got a couple messages from people who were gun-shy and didn't want to play CHAR because of the line movement.
I told them not to worry about it.
This type of "trickery" happens all the time.
If the BM's moved the # in the "correct direction" every time....everyone would play the line moves and clean up.
Alot of the "moves" are nothing but mind games.
That's why you have to study and study hard.
Make your own decision and don't let a small line move effect that decision...especially in baskets.

SETON HALL -1 vs Depaul.......9:00 EDT
Get on this at HALL-1 if you can.
DePaul is bad....real bad.
A bunch of young kids....mostly Fresh-Soph.....
....even if they should have a 2nd half lead,...they will find a way to blow it.
DEPAUL has lost 11 straight,
S HALL is on a 4 game win streak and has hope for postseason play.
This betting situation reminds me a little of last nights Clipper-CHARL game.
The BM made a mistake when he put the opener out @ CHAR -2.5.
It shoulda have opened @ CHAR-5.
After the BM's realized the mistake,they tried to fool the public into thinking that the Clippers were the "smart play" by moving the line in the other direction.....to CHAR -1.
I got a couple messages from people who were gun-shy and didn't want to play CHAR because of the line movement.
I told them not to worry about it.
This type of "trickery" happens all the time.
If the BM's moved the # in the "correct direction" every time....everyone would play the line moves and clean up.
Alot of the "moves" are nothing but mind games.
That's why you have to study and study hard.
Make your own decision and don't let a small line move effect that decision...especially in baskets.
